You really do have to consider the kind of people in education departments
of governments who agree to such deals, though; they really should know
better than to shovel taxpayer's money dedicated to teaching children
into the cavernous pockets of Bill Gates. I want my children taught
with my tax-cash, I'd rather see the teachers paid more and Bill Gates
given less, myself.
